When distutils.cfg defines an install-lib, it will be used within virtual environments created using venv as well, which makes it impossible to install things with setup.py or similar.
Steps to reproduce:
Create a distutils.cfg file and set a value for install-lib.
Create a virtual environment: $pyvenv myvenv
Activate that environment: $source myvenv/bin/activate
Attempt to install something: $python distribute_setup.py
It will attempt to install in the lib-install directory, and should fail with an error that the directory is not on the python path. This issue affects python3 from the mac homebrew project, which bundles a distutil.cfg, thus breaking pyvenv by default. |
